ORDER OF THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
John Jones
Appeal No.: BOE 18-39-R
Parcel No.: 101324 004
Issue: Under appeal is a 3 story single family residence located at 72/74 Juan de Fuca Road in Port
Townsend. It was built in 2005 and has 4,501 s/f with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, a detached garage, 2
garages and 2 carports. Also, on the property is a 1 '/2 story residence built in 1998 with 1,054 s/f with 1
bedroom and 1 bath. Both residences are on an acre lot with 265 front feet of high bank waterfront. The
appellant estimates the value to be $1,200,000 ($400,000 for the land and $800,000 for the
improvements). The Assessor's valuation of the property as of January 1, 2018 was $1,463,824 ($423,800
for the land and $1,040,024 for the improvements).
Appellant's Argument and Evidence: The appellant presented one comparable property sale located at
312 Juan de Fuca Road which sold in October, 2017 for $1,310,000. The house with 4,018 s/f is located
on 3.22 acres of high bank waterfront and has 200 front feet. It was built in 2016.
Assessor's Argument and Evidence: The Assessor's representative presented three comparable
Property sales, one of which was also the appellant's comparable. The other two were waterfront
properties with improvements somewhat older than the subject and not as extensive. They also had less
acreage but comparable waterfront footage. One sold for $1,000,000 in November, 2018, and the other
for $1,100,000 in January, 2016.
Decision: The law requires that the Board of Equalization presume the Assessor's valuation to be correct
unless the appellant presents clear, cogent and convincing evidence to the contrary. After consideration
the Board finds that the appellant did not present clear, cogent, and convincing evidence necessary to
overcome the presumptive correctness of the value established by the Assessor. The Board of
Equalization sustains the value established by the Assessor.
